Today, Suwayda Governorate has witnessed a dangerous escalation on the roads leading to it, as a microbus coming from Damascus was hijacked near the Busra al-Sham crossing by gunmen believed to be affiliated with the forces of Hay ‘at Tahrir al-Sham led by al-Julani. The microbus was carrying six girls and two young men who were all kidnapped.
Local sources reported that the abductees were: Sawsan Nasr, Haya Nasr, Jihan Nasr, Rahaf Nasr, Jana Nasr, Yara Arar, Alaa Arar, and Karam Nasr.
In the same context, a commercial truck came under fire, killing its driver, and other civilian vehicles were targeted, injuring three people: the child Kenan Blanc, and ladies Canada Blanc and Helen Mehanna. In a separate incident, another commercial truck was targeted near the town of Rakhm, east of Daraa, also killing its driver.
This escalation comes a day after demonstrations in As-Suwayda under the slogan “the right to self-determination”, where hundreds demanded independence from the transitional government in Damascus, and categorically rejected the authority of the current Syrian government. During the demonstration, some demonstrators waved Druze and Israeli flags, demanding Israeli intervention to support their demands.
